Backyard Deck And Paver Patio Designs

By Darren Hartley


The season to think about expanding a home into the outdoors with backyard deck designs is springtime. Beyond comparison is the sublime pleasure of enjoying the great outdoors without leaving the home. There are almost limitless options available for the conversion of a backyard deck into something as personal and special as the home interior.

With backyard deck designs on hand, a simple, one-level deck where family members can sit and take in the many benefits offered by nature can be easily created. There is, of course, the other option of building an exotic outdoor environment, complete with an outdoor kitchen including a grill, granite bar, refrigerator and outdoor stereo system.

The only limitations to the decision as to which backyard deck designs to go for are the budget, the imagination and what is actually permissible in the neighbourhood. The setting of parameters depending on these limitations is the first task of any homeowner.

First of ten things to bear in mind in the installation of paver patio designs is the insurance of a stable foundation. By digging at least six inches under the surface, the ground below is prepared and a stable foundation is ensured. This makes sure that, over time, the pavers will not be shifting, regardless of the considerable activity expected on the surface.

For the best value with the lowest maintenance, the way to go is paver patio designs, regardless of the vast options available for an outside area. It may cost more up front but in the long run, it will pay for itself considering the savings from not having to stain and seal it year after year.

Weeds may be a headache with paver patio designs. They have a way of springing up even between pavers. To help stifle their growth, a barrier may be laid down. A soil additive can be considered for weeds that are a notorious problem.
